Passenger Compartment Air Filter
Outside air is routed through a passenger
compartment air filter before entering the
vehicle. This filter removes certain parti-
cles from the air, including pollen and dust
particles. Reductions in airflow, which may
occur more quickly in dusty areas, indicate
that the filter needs to be replaced early.
The filter should be replaced as part of
routine scheduled maintenance. Refer to
“Scheduled Maintenance” in “Mainte-
nance Schedule” in the “Maintenance
Schedule” section for when to replace the
filter.
To change the passenger compartment air
filter, use the following steps:
